The 2011 SSPP Meeting
New Orleans, LA
The
Southern Society for Philosophy and Psychology will meet at the Hotel
Monteleone in New Orleans, Louisiana from March 10 through March 12,
2011. A traditional king or double/double room for one or two persons will
be $169.00 per night plus 13% tax and a $2.00 per room per night occupancy
tax. The convention rate applies for three days prior and three days after
the meeting dates, subject to availability. The current rate for valet
parking is $30.00 per day for registered guests. Program sessions will
begin in the morning on Thursday, March 10 and will end on Saturday evening,
March 12.
Please note this is a change from recent meetings, with the program
extending now through Saturday.
The hotel is on
Royal Street one block from Canal Street. The Monteleone is an historic
hotel that has received a $70 million, four-year renovation, but the
ambience of the hotel has been maintained. The renovated guest rooms are
very nice, and the hotel is near numerous good and well-known restaurants.
The deadline for
making room reservations is February 14, 2011. You may call a toll free
number (1-800-217-2033) or the hotel directly (1-504-523-3341) to make
reservations. Alternatively, you may send a facsimile to 504-528-1019. You
should state that you will be attending the meeting of the Southern Society
for Philosophy and Psychology, and you should request the convention rate.
Please make your reservations early because the Society is obligated to
occupy a block of guest rooms in order to avoid charges to the Society. The
Wednesday night room block often is oversubscribed, but if the room block is
filled early, we may be able to obtain an increase in the room block.

Orleans International Airport. The one-way rate for shuttle service from the
